In a nation reeling at the bottom of the Great Depression, FDR declared his candidacy for president in January 1932. It was clear he would be the nominee, so all eyes turned to him and the positive attitude he struck by promising to tackle the crisis by taking action.
Typed Letter Signed on his governor’s letterhead, New York, April 8, 1932, to Walter Murphy, a North Carolina state legislator. “Your letter made very pleasant reading, and I appreciate both your personal approval and your belief that others in North Carolina have the same confidence in me. If you can take the trouble to canvass local sentiment, I certainly can find time to thank you for giving me the results. It also occurs to me that in view of your interest in my record and policies, you might care to read the enclosed pamphlets which friends here have had printed to show my stand on both state and national issues. Please feel free to write me at any time, for I should be interested to have your observations and opinions on the political situation as you see it.”
This letter is an excellent example of the personal touch Roosevelt used in building support. Just two months later, he would pledge "a New Deal for the American people" and then go on to sweep into office. The pamphlet mentioned is no longer present.
